    Not encouraging in the context of implementing harm reduction in the short time we have left. This stupid old fuck is going to smile and nod his way into the grave while wishing us all the best.

    Guy surrendering power says it’s gonna be okay.

    We aren’t going to be okay. Stop saying it’s going to be okay. Project 25 is not okay, turning Gaza into a crater is not okay, banning abortion is not going, cutting Medicare is not okay. None of this shit is okay. Stop trying to sit and act like being cordial is going to make the right go, “Well, they’re being so nice about it.” We fucked up, and we need to face the consequences.

    This spineless fuck will be remembered for 1 thing and 1 thing only. Being the useless cunt that sat back and allowed Trump to walk right back in to the Whitehouse.

        Biden chosing not to prosecute him for his crimes because he didn’t want it to look politically motivated allowed this to happen.

        I’m suggesting he actually prosecuted Trump for his crimes instead of trying to look politically neutral.

        Either the charges of treason/insurection are true, and the corruption of delays until after election needs to be corrected, or Trump should have been in military jail waiting trial back in 2021 are true, or DNC just wants the most loyal zionist to finish the job of genocide.

            When in jail, it is no longer advantageous to corrupt the justice system with delays. You also don’t get the corrupt privilege of facing a judge you appointed, when tried under military system.

            Yes, Before Oct 7, seemed to be a sure thing vs an insurectionist. But after, Trump got all of the money.

      It’s one of those “City on a Hill” sentiments. It upsets boomers to acknowledge that not a lot of “experimenting” has veen going on since the civil rights era.

      From what I know, its a communist idea that all governments are inventions and that we are “trying them to see if they work”.

        I mean, what part of that is a communist idea? And of course they are all inventions that we are trying. Every country around the world is hoping their government system works best for their population. That said they are all for the most part , different.

        Now that you mention it, we have genocide nicknames for the Biden and Harris administration but not yet for Trump.

        Any suggestions? Needs to be catchy that starts with a T or D

          It works on liberals because they pretend to be the “good” cop. Give something similar to Trump and you’ll just be flattering him and his white supremacist base. They want genocide.

        Hate to break it to you, we’re still near the top of the heap.

        Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of “Oh, THIS is white privilege” like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I’m straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I’ll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.

        I cant say the same for a lot of other people.

          I know what you mean, but I think lying under racism is classism, and the trumpers are a party to service rich people. I doubt they will take care of their “base”. Did Trump do anything for the impoverished whites last time? I dont remember.

    “I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly. Together we’ve changed America for the better. Now we have 74 days to finish the term, our term. Let’s make every day count.”

      Well I mean, what would you say in that position? It’s hardly going to help any to come out and announce that everything is fucked and you’d probably also be pretty disinclined to say nothing of note was achieved in your own administration or that there isn’t really enough time to do much of anything in the remaining period.

        The beginning and end of Leadership is accountability. The Dems refuse to accept their part in this loss.

        The President and Vice President have zero outward indications that this is personally painful to them, at all. If anything, they seem relieved to be passing the potato. If they are so out of touch, or so insulated from the pernicious outcomes of their doleful stewardship of this country, then WHY should voters place their trust in that party again, considering it’s been helmed and staffed by the same obstinate members for decades?

        I don’t see Leadership, I see a kind of craven capitulation, at a time when America most need its leaders to have fire in their bellies, and compassion in their eyes.

        He could resign right now and let Kamala finish the term, ruining the millions of dollars of “47” merch on the market.
